Abstract
⺠We investigated the organic matter sources use by vermetid reef cuvette community. ⺠Stable isotope ratios (δ13C, δ15N) were used to describe the trophic web. ⺠Both benthic and pelagic OM sources contributed in different extents. ⺠Three different trophic pathways were identified within the cuvette. ⺠Predators revealed a high specialization in each of the three trophic pathways.
